Is the stationary side rail [non drop-down] a problem with anybody? Buying a crib for my daughter and wondering about this.

Only use it occasionally, when my grandchildren visit. It is a safety issue and is illegal to sell drop down cribs anymore. You can adjust the height of the mattress up or down depending on the age & size of the child.d

I haven't had any issues personally. We have a queen and love it, no problems at all with slats breaking or instability, it's very solid for us. Good luck!

The crib is adjustable for four mattress heights. It does not have a drop rail. I was under the impression that the drop side cribs are now banned due to their not meeting safety standards and the potential for injury or death? The adjustable heights on the mattress work very well and are not a hardship, partly due to the crib itself being built lower to the ground. We transitioned from a drop side to this crib almost two years ago and he is now three and nearly ready to go to the next stage on the crib - removing one side and replacing with the side rail that comes with it. We actually got the new crib because he was so active and energetic and we were afraid the other one would collapse on him. The new DaVinci has been wonderful - no problem in the Cherry finish at all, looks great, and is so sturdy for this extremely active little boy! We're delighted with our choice and plan on a white one for my grand daughter soon.

Amazon had the rail for this crib, but it's been out of stock. I just added it to my wish and list and checked every day until it was in stock. Then I bought it.

This crib does take a standard crib mattress. I'm impressed with the quality of it. The crib is sleek and compact and takes minimal effort to put together. The only thing I'm not impressed with is the size of the drawer underneath. It doesn't pull out that far and it's not very deep. Other than that-- I'm glad we got this one. You have to special order the toddler conversion rail separately for $129 at babies r us and it took 6 weeks to get in. The company we ordered the crib from didn't even have the toddler conversion rail. Good luck

I bought the crib for my daughter who is expecting twins. This matches the crib I bought for her first child and she would like the two to match. Is there anyway to exchange the crib spring? Have no idea why a black spring was enclosed with a white crib. We would prefer the exchange, please let me know if possible.

Have you tried aggressively pulling up on the center of the bottom of the crib? I've had this issue with mine too, but it's usually resolved by pulling up on the bottom (fairly high) and then latching the side. Kind of a weird mechanism.

Hello, I KNOW your situation regarding the bed rails. I had to find a Coaster Furniture dealer to order just the rails to that particular bed for me. Now it's all good to go!

I never tried but can see where it might be a problem. It does have a wide rail. Maybe you could try one of those crib aquariumso that attach to the side instead? I had one and it worked.

Neither side goes up and down. However, it's a smaller crib and doesn't seem necessary. I'm extremely happy woth this product.

We made the transition at around 4 months old. We bought a crib wedge ($13 - walmart), and she was on the other side of the crib the next morning. Created a "sling" out of a rolled up towell safety pinned to the wedge. Guess it somewhat mimicked the coziness and incline of the RnP because she snuggled up against the towel and slept better. She still preferred the RnP but by 6m old she was sleeping flat in her crib no problem. Gradual steps... less and less incline, more and more freedom.

I would recommend using a dust ruffle because you can see in between the mattress and drawer. It's not like a traditional crib where the dust ruffle will hang on the floor but it still looks nice.. and once mattress is perfect! It's not too high and not too low, it's right where an infant mattress should be but you could always try it yourself depending on what you like. I absolutely love this crib and I don't think you'd regret ordering it

I would certainly hope not, drop down cribs have been deemed unsafe and any new crib you buy should not have that feature as they recalled and took every drop side crib off the market.

This crib is built very well, the rail does not move because it is screwed into the side rails the only thing that is adjustable is the mattress

My daughter climbs in and out and abuses her crib quite a bit. To date it has never fallen over. Hope this helps.

I just received mine and noticed there is very slight rocking and the 4th leg is not touching the floor like the other 3 but not big enough gap to put a book under, thought maybe its a safety design feature but not sure. I may get a better idea once I start using it.

You could raise the crib mattress up one notch, and then you should gain the necessary room in insert the bulky bed rail frame that way. If you look at a picture of the Kidco Convertible Bed Rail on another site (just google the name), you'll that is what they've done. Hope this helps!
